2-62 CHASSIS MODIFICATIONS E UROCARGO Euro 4/5 Should piping be replaced: ! 1. If the connectors are of the Raufoss P5 type, use new connectors. 2. If the connectors are of the Voss 214 type, disassemble them using the special pliers, then re-fitthem on the new piping. Installation of piping on vehicle New pipes must be thoroughly cleaned inside before use (e.g. by blowing through with compressed air). Pipes must be fixed in their correct position. The fixing clips must go right round the pipe. They may be of plastic, metal or rubber. Observe adequate distances between the various fixing elements.
As a rule a maximum distance of 500 mm for plastic pipes and 600 mm for metal pipes is applicable. For plastic pipes, in order to prevent distortion and tension on the connectors when fitting them, take the necessary precautions when working out the run and fitting the fixing brackets onto the chassis. Correct fitting of the fixing brackets will ensure that the pipes do not rub against the fixed parts of the chassis. Observe the necessary safety distances from moving parts and heat sources. When a pipe has to pass through the chassis frame (side or cross members) appropriate precautions must be taken to avoid damage.
A solution which can be used as a bulkhead connection for a straight or angled run is given in Figure 2.24: Figure 2.24 91464 1. Pipe - 2. Bulkhead connector - 3. Chassis After completing any work either on the system or the equipment, the braking system must be checked to ensure its efficiency. ! For air systems, build up the pressure to its maximum value. Check for leaks in the areas affected by the work carried out. Modifications to the braking system Base - January 2008 Print 603.93.431
